I have AT in a few weeks and was thinking about waterproofing my notes with clear duck tape.We'll be out in the woods and I want to keep some stuff free of water, sweat and dirt and figured wrapping them in tape would do. Is this a good idea?
packing tape>clear duct tape
it's thinner, clearer, glossier, smoother, no strings, doesn't smoosh/fray at the edges...
that's how i laminate my notes for mountaineering trips.

Why not just go to Kinkos or something? Shouldn't cost more than a few bucks.
Otherwise packing tape.

>kinkos
in my experience under heavy use proper laminate separates. though it has the advantage of not having seams that can let a little water in sometimes.

I've got sumthin for ya, OP. It's a pro-tip I remember from year 9 science.
Get some styrofoam packing peanuts and nail-polish remover. Pour the remover over the styrofoam and it will 'melt' it into a liquid. Use a brush to coat your notes with the liquid and they will become waterproof, but you will still be able to write on it, like the write in the rain notebooks.
No, this is not a mustard gas troll type thing, if you don't believe me you can test it in your backyard with small amounts.

It kind of sounds like it though. Melting styrofoam is pretty turning it Napalm which is highly flammable. But I trust you anon since /out/ is a pretty decent board
Buy some "Rite-in-the-Rain" Notebooks. They're waterproof and nasty proof.

Those look good, but I have old notes I always take that were written on non water proof paper. I suppose I could just copy them over to a waterproof one, but that would take as long as laminating them I suppose.

I've got a laminator, how many sheets are we talking?
>>766212
If you google it there are heaps of videos on youtube that demonstrate it. I don't think any of them make the connection with waterproofing paper, but at least you'll see it's not a troll.

What's AT?

Or use silicone sealant and mineral spirits.

That's if you use gasoline, the foam is just to make it sticky. I tried melting foam peanuts in acetone for the lulz once when we got a shipment at the lab, they dissolve then you get a thin sheet of plastic when the acetone evaporates.
